It may not be fair to label Call of the Mountain a "tech demo," but I liken it to a splashy amusement park attraction I'm happy to have only ridden once. Firing your bow feels great and the levels are littered with targets, but combat boils down Horizon's deep mechanics to: While satisfyingly tactile, the climbing that makes up the majority of the game lacks the challenge of other simulators like Crytek's The Climb 2.
